Why do IMDb and RYM generally have pretty agreeable ratings, while Goodreads is garbage for finding actually good books?

Why should I trust philosophers when they failed to have children, the most basic aim of life?

>people STILL misinterpret Nietzsche’s Will to Power as a literal translation instead of a metaphor for an urge to do something rather than be a lazy piece of shit
You know why he said semen retention is one of the greatest motivators of a persons will lto power? It’s because Nietzsche knew that nofap instilled a restlessness and a will to power, a will to act and to be active, to be alive and to simply do things rather than remain sedentary as a lifeless rock.

That's just as boring as it sounds. Without the will to actually read it, and Joyce's style, this book is sincerily boring. And not because of a "lack of plot" or anything, but because most of what happens and what is (visibly) said is really, really commonplace, and the more intense moments are mostly presented in a way that almost seem reserved, polite, maybe quite uptight like some old-fashioned bourgie in fact. I still quite like it, the "fog" that this kind of politeness creates is an important part of its style I guess.
